Television stars Josh Radnor and Justine Bateman head the cast of the Los Angeles Theatre Works run of Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues, July 11-15.

Concluding the season for the company's "The Play's The Thing" radio theatre series, performances play the Skirball Cultural Center. Shows are performed live and recorded for future broadcast. Nataki Garrett directs.

Radnor (as Eugene Morris Jerome) and Bateman (Rowena) are joined in the cast by Steve Rankin (Dracula the Musical, Henry IV) as Sergeant Toomey, John Cabrera ("Gilmore Girls") as Arnold Epstein, Joshua Biton ("Stop Loss") as Joseph Wykowskil, Matthew Patrick Davis (LATW's The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial) as Don Carney, Russell Soder (LATW's The Man Who Had All the Luck) as Roy Selridge, Rob Benedict ("Threshold") as James Hennesey and Darby Stanchfield ("Jericho") as Daisy Hannigan.

The follow-up to Brighton Beach Memoirs — and second in Simon's semi-autobiographical trilogy that centers on Eugene Morris Jerome — Biloxi Blues finds the protagonist in basic training for the army. Set in 1943 in the Mississippi town, Eugene (Radnor) is now enlisted at the mercy of his sadistic drill sergeant and fellow recruits while also experiencing sex and love for the first time.
